If your favourite bed-table book is a road atlas, the Honda ST1300A is your kind of motorcycle. Its ultra-smooth fuel-injected V-4 engine can motor along effortlessly kilometre after kilometre, but it still revs like a four-cylinder Honda sportbike when you twist the throttle. And its twin-spar aluminum frame and premium suspension contribute to the ST1300A’s agile handling. Of course, comfort is key when you’re riding coast to coast, so the ST gets a plush adjustable seat and an electrically adjustable windshield.

The ST1300 is already the class king when it comes to balancing long-range touring comfort with sportbike-like power and handling. But for those riders who want added braking confidence in less than ideal conditions, we offer our anti-lock braking system (ABS)-equipped ST1300 ABS.

Long-distance riders all around the world agree that Honda’s ST1300A sets the class standards for both power and handling.

– Touring features include full-coverage bodywork, three-way adjustable rider’s seat and two large 35-liter detachable saddlebags. Both models feature a pushbutton, motor-driven windscreen that adjusts to alter height and angle.

– The ST1300’s low center of gravity contributes to enhanced low-speed handling. The 360-degree crank contributes to a very broad powerband. Two engine counterbalancers virtually eliminate primary and secondary vibration. Both gear-driven counterbalancer shafts are installed in the lower crankcase to the left side of the crankshaft. The first shaft is driven directly by the crankshaft at a 2:1 ratio. The second shaft is positioned below the first and is driven in the opposite direction by the first balancer shaft’s drive gear. The combination of these two balancers ensures a supremely comfortable ride for long-distance touring.

– High-output, air-cooled, 660-watt alternator is located between the cylinder banks, contributing to a shorter and more compact engine design.

– U-shaped aluminum radiator has excellent cooling capacity, and a ring-type fan draws air through the radiator at low speeds to ensure stable operating temperatures for consistent performance and long engine life.

– Quiet and reliable shaft-drive system is virtually maintenance-free.

Chassis/Suspension

– Aluminum frame features a massive steering head casting and triple-box-section spars. The V-4 engine serves as a tuned, stressed frame member. The solid engine-mounting system utilizes specially designed hangers and carefully matched mounting bolts to provide both excellent road feel and minimal engine vibration.

– Lightweight, aluminum swingarm is carefully matched to the frame to provide an ideal balance of rigidity and tuned flex for optimal handling.

– Three-position rider’s seat provides an adjustment range of 1.2 inches vertically and 1.0 inch horizontally. From the forward and lowest position, the seat can be moved up 0.6 inch and back approximately 0.5 inch to the middle position, and again by the same amount to the highest rear position.

– A motor-driven adjustable windscreen offers 7.4 inches and 13 degrees of adjustability for greater wind protection and touring comfort. A thumb-operated pushbutton on the left handlebar operates the windscreen motor. An additional 2.3 inches of manual adjustment is possible by repositioning the windscreen on the mounting brackets.

– Integrated lockable and detachable saddlebags hold 35 liters each (large enough for a full-face helmet). The saddlebags contain straps to limit bag opening to 90 degrees to better secure the contents. The straps are easily unbuckled when the bags are dismounted, permitting full access.

– Rugged, plastic-covered body-protector stays extend outward to protect the bodywork in case of a tip-over.

– Dual-section fuel tank carries 5.5 gallons of fuel in the conventional tank location with an additional 2.2 gallons located in a sub-tank low in the chassis. This results in exceptional fuel capacity with a low center of gravity.

– Purchase of a new, previously unregistered Honda USA-certified unit by an individual retail user in the United States qualifies the owner for a one-year complimentary membership in the Honda Riders Club of America® (HRCA®).
